Peter Okoye : Family Recovered from Covid19 After 3wks Of Hell

-



Singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as ‘’Mr P’’ is counting his blessings after him, wife, seven-year-old daughter and two domestic workers (a cook and a nanny) recovered from COVID-19 recently.
The singer shocked his over 9.1 million followers on Instagram on Saturday when he narrated his family’s emotionally draining and hellish experience while self-isolating in their home.
In the 18 minutes clip, Peter, who was a former member of the defunct P-square group said he thought it was the end for him since he couldn’t even comfort his seven-year-old daughter.


He said, ‘’For the past three weeks, I have been ill and most people didn’t even know what was wrong with me. I kept it to myself. It has been three weeks of hell for me and my family. I had COVID19 for about three weeks and it happened to me. I was sick and I tested positive. It’s been hell for this family in this house. Not just I, even two of my domestic workers.
“After a week, my daughter caught the virus as well. It was sad that when she caught it, the doctor insisted that she has to be self-isolated in her room. I couldn’t even see my sick daughter, I felt so bad because I felt that I am the one who actually brought the virus to the house. It was so bad that I had to be calling her on video, ch
ecking on her.’


The ‘’Shekini’’ crooner, who broke down in tears at some point, also commended his wife’s bravery for risking self to take care of their little girl.
“The next day, my wife did something very courageous. She picked our daughter from her room, held her and took her to the master bedroom and she called me and she started crying. I asked her what happened and she said ‘I’ll rather contract COVID-19 than allow this little girl to suffer.’ Five or six days later, my daughter was pronounced negative. When she was pronounced negative, we knew it wasn’t going to end there. The next day, Lola became positive. It’s been three weeks in hell in this house. This virus is real, it’s like I eventually saw death. It got to a point where I said this is it. The good thing is that we have all been tested negative. If you think this virus is fake or you don’t know anyone who has had the experience, I, Peter Okoye tell you that it’s real.”


This revelation has since attracted sympathy from celebrities and well-wishers. However, some sympathisers noted that while Mr P praised his friends for their support, he was silent about his family. But he provided a defence. He said “The reasons some of my friends knew my family and I contracted the virus was because I didn’t want them to come and pay me a visit, but I told them not to tell anyone about it. I’m happy that none of them told anyone but I promised that once I’m fine, I’ll tell my experience. My album was delayed because of the virus.’’

We head to Lagos to spend time with models and agencies, to see how the country’s fashion identity is entering a bold, exciting  new era “I’m not from a worldly background,” says Ruth. When she first started modelling there was a lot she didn’t know – “I’d never heard of  Naomi Campbell , I didn’t know who  Kendall  or  Gigi Hadid  were. My booker sent me home and made me google people like  Tyra Banks ,” she says, laughing. She learned fast – “I used to like Kendall’s walk, but I’m not that into it anymore. I love Gigi’s walk. It is so powerful. I want to walk like that one day.” After placing second in Nigeria’s Elite Model Look competition, Ruth has fast become one of the top models in Nigeria.

THE RISE AND FALL OF BITCOIN BILLIONAIRE ARTHUR HAYES

The BitMEX cofounder created a cryptocurrency exchange that has traded trillions. Now he’s wanted by U.S. authorities, and insiders wonder whether he and his partners are villains—or victims of a two-tiered justice system that favors big banks over brash outsiders. BY ADAM CIRALSKY FEBRUARY 4, 2021 CRAZY RICH Arthur Hayes lives large. Like Bobby Axelrod-in-Billions large. Just replace New York with Hong Kong and infuse it with a dose of Silicon Valley—where unicorns spring from the minds of irrepressible company founders—and, well, you get the picture. One minute Hayes is hitting the powder in Hokkaido, the next he’s crushing it on a subterranean squash court in Central—Hong Kong’s Wall Street. And all the while he keeps one eye trained on an obscure-sounding currency exchange that he built out of thin air and through which more than $3 trillion has flowed.Screen-star handsome and fabulously wealthy, the African American banker turned maverick personifies the contemporary fintech pione
